CAI is hosting our fourth annual High-Rise Managers Workshop exclusively for community managers and management companies specializing in high-rise communities. This year we will be in Houston! What is the Workshop? The workshop is an immersive experience where participants have the opportunity to tour high-rise buildings - from roofs to parking lots - and everything in between. This program is intended to include opportunities for participants to network with their industry peers and business partners, share best practices, problem solve, and benefit from expert presentations on a variety of topics specifically for the high-rise manager.

The Workshop will be a walking/touring workshop. Be sure to bring your walking shoes and umbrellas. If anyone requires special accommodations, please reach out to Carly Reid at creid@caionline.org.

REGISTRATION - $125/PP (PAID FOR BY BUSINESS PARTNERS)

Here's how it works:
  • STEP 1 — Managers register online (FREE) and are included on the master attendee list. Registration will be held between June 2 - 13, 2025!
  • STEP 2 — CAI Greater Houston Chapter Premium Partners purchase tickets ($125 each) and select managers from the master attendee list to sit at their table (10 seats/table, invitations are sent by CAI GHC based on submission list).
  • STEP 3 — Ticket sales open to all Business Partners/Vendors who will select from remaining list of managers.

*IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2025: ALL TABLE SEATING WILL BE PROCESSED BY THE CAI GREATER HOUSTON CHAPTER (CAI GHC). MANAGERS/MANAGEMENT COMPANY STAFF WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL WHO THEY ARE SITTING WITH BY CAI GHC. MANAGERS/MANAGEMENT COMPANY STAFF CANNOT ACCEPT INVITATIONS DIRECTLY FROM BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SHOULD REGISTER ONLINE BEFORE THE JUNE 13, 2025 DEADLINE. NAMES NOT ON THE LIST BY JUNE 13, 2025 ARE NOT GUARANTEED A SPOT ON THE ATTENDEE LIST. 

INVITATIONS ACCEPTED BY MANAGERS/MANAGEMENT COMPANY STAFF OUTSIDE OF THE CAI GHC SELECTION PROCESS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED VALID. DUE TO VENUE CAPACITY LIMITS, SAME-DAY REGISTRATIONS WILL NOT BE AN OPTION IN 2025.

BUSINESS PARTNER SELECTION DATES
  • Diamond Premium Partners - 6/16/2025 - 6/20/2025
  • Gold Premium Partners - 6/23/2025 - 6/27/2025
  • Silver Premium Partners - 6/23/2025 - 6/27/2025

Premium Partners can purchase tickets at any point after their selection window has opened. For example, Gold Premium Partners who did not select from the manager list between June 23 – 27, 2025 can continue to select during the Silver Premium Partner selection on June 23 – 27, 2025.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING REGISTRATION
  • Cap on registration for Managers
    • Registration in 2025 will be limited to 325 managers
  • Business Partner Registrations
    • In order to maximize the number of community association managers/management company staff in attendance, Business Partners who purchase full tables will be limited to no more than three representatives from their company. Restriction does not apply to blended tables (i.e. tables that combine multiple business partners who do not purchase full tables).
    • At minimum a 1:1 ratio of business partners/managers (i.e. a business partner must purchase a ticket for a manager to attend). For example, a Business Partner purchases three tickets for company staff, they will be required to purchase the equal amount in manager tickets (six tickets total).
